there is no production in services
^
production requires tangibility
^
Fron the POV of economy, producing stuff and providing services are the same
🤦
Producing stuff increases the number and quality of stuff
Providing services increases the number and quality of labor force
Labor force is a good too
you produce nothing by telling a guy he has depression, who then pays you. And if you do, and he pays you and you earn a wage like that, the man who makes a duck doesnt own his customer either
so he is by your definition the same
aka a corporation, aka capitalistic
You improve that guy's mental health, and then he can work better and make more stuff/provide more services, that's why you get paid
The man who makes a duck on its own isn't earning a wage because he owns the duck
A service is economically productive. There is a whole type of economy called the tertiary economy where the primary source of GDP is services, i.e., the developed world.

Simply because those services are not physically tangible doesn't make them irrelevant.
@Advocatus Diaboli you owns the means to achieve the mental health
You help improve that guy's mental health because you want to help people and you charge it because you need to earn a living your self.
once again
You want to help and make money so you can live.
stop the word masturbation
you own the means to achieve the person's mental health
A comfortable life.
by the same logic, a lawyer helping a man to get out of legal trouble does not own the man, but he owns the knowledge to help him get out of legal trouble
your allegories make no sense
@Adoring Fan If I'm working for a hospital, I de jure temporarily lease my abilities to help people to the hospital (like it's not me helping, it's the hospital providing the service), that's the reason why people give the money to the hospital and then I'm getting paid by the hospital and that's a wage. If I'm a stand-alone psychologist, I alone own the means to cure the patient, but then the money I get is not a wage.
yes it is
legally speaking they are wages
first you went to thinking that psychologists have wages, now they dont
make up your fucking mind, tankie
^
the problem here is that you have no understanding of what you say, you merely try to fit everything into your perverted definitions of reality, so that you can apply reality to your worldview
that is not how it works.
and mind you
even if it is
like you say it is
the soviet union still had wages
now i know
